Fauna and flora to look out for in Nepal’s Chitwan National Park

Gazetted in 1973 in the lowland Terai region, Nepal’s first national park is dominated by tropical and subtropical forests, with substantial grassland and wetland areas (Beeshazar and surrounding lakes comprise a Ramsar site). It’s home to an alluring array of mammals, more than 520 bird species and a host of amphibians and reptiles.
